Spirit Hunter: Death Mark II

_ Seeing Spirit Hunter changed to side-scroller format, I had my skepticism, I was so WRONG! Being able to explore the setting in a continuous manner does make me feel more invested in the world. They also trim most of the fat by blocking the paths that are not related to current case, and even offer fast travel. Seeing characters actually moving around makes me feel more connected to them than just pure CG. And it's not like they ditched the CG format, half of the game areas are still in beautiful CG. It's the best of both world! I hope they keep this format onwards. _ The story is full of twists but opens enough to figure it out for the first time, if you actually pay attention. It's very satisfying to get the choices right after first few times. _ The art is so beautiful, especially in the side-scroller segments, looks downright like an anime. Spirit Hunter: Death Mark 2 ties with the other two for me. They all excel for different reasons. I love them all equally.
